scissors
deb how can i, alone, decide
what to do with us?
i know my heart-
i know what yours once was-
i can only hope
you've not dissected my face
from the photos of your future...

lizardqueen What exotic hair..like spun gold."
He had whispered it to me in his stingy alcoholic breath.
Now,only 2 days later I studied it in the mirror, pulling it apart, straightening out the waves with a downward stroke of my hands, watching the recoil with the release of my fingertips. It hung thick with golden streaks on-top of tiny waves.

I locked the door and grabbed my scissors. I reached behind my head, pulling my hair back with one hand and grasping it like an ice cream cone. I squeezed the scissors through my hair, chop by squeaking chop. The more hair I cut, the faster I wanted it gone. I couldnt stop until it looked disgusting.

The bathroom counter was littered with clomps and strands of my hair. Some of it had stuck to the wet parts of the sink. It looked beautiful so far away from my face, and my neck felt bare and naked in the back.
My vision began to blur and it became increasingly difficult to breathe. I slid down to the tile floor with my back against the wall. I tried to regain my breath but i was too upset, too dizzy, too exhausted. My hands examined the remaining hair i had left behind. A choppy, uneven, ugly haircut. It was perfect this way.My fingers ran around to the back of my head all too easily. It was perfect this way.

Toxic_Kisses Some one used scissors to cut my hair while I was asleep in 1st period during 5th grade, it was all uneven and I'll never forgive (but it's not az if they care) them for what they did. Just bc some one happens to fall asleep during class does not in any way shape or form mean that the person sitting behind you has the right to cut your hair as they see fit 011217

dionysos I tried to cut her out of my life. I sit on the floor with scissors in my hand, confetti everywhere.

andru235 it's possible that the first pair of scissors was worth twenty-two chickens and four clay pots when traded at some iron-age bazaar

it's also possible that the first pair of socks was named 'Sally McDugal'

falling_alone i thought i had made an oath to my self to grow my hair out as long as possible for me. this was last month. there have been a pair of my scissors in the bathroom now for quite a while now, and i have no idea how they got there but just looking at them makes me want to cut my hair.
after i got out of the shower earlier i cut about three inches off and layered it all over.
with such random acts i doubt my hair will ever be truly long.
